diff

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: ep. adjunct of ἡνία, χιτών, εἵματα, θρόνος a. o., approx. `brilliant, gleaming' (Hom.), later of ἀμύγδαλα, μνία (Hermipp., Numen. ap. Ath.).

Derivatives: Besides νεο-σίγαλος `with a new brilliance' ( τρόπος; Pi.), which may have been built to σιγαλόεις after the pattern of παιπαλόεις: πολυ-παίπαλος a. o. (Leumann Hom. Wörter 214 n. 8). Denom. verb σιγαλόω `to smoothen, to polish' (Apollon. Lex. s. σιγαλόεντα, sch. Pi.); σιγάλωμα n. `polishing tools of a cobbler' (Apollon. ibd., H. s. σιγαλόεν), also `border, edging of a pelt' (H.: τὰ περιαπτόμενα ταῖς ᾤαις); beside it with loss of the γ (Schwyzer 209) σιάλωμα `iron mountings of a roman longshield' (Plb. 6, 23, 4; H.). The ep. adj. resembles the also epic αἰθαλόεις, ὀμφαλόεις a. o. The technical expression σιγάλωμα, which belongs stilistically to a quite diff. category and as opposed to νεο-σίγαλος cannot be explained from σιγαλόεις, can be derived from σιγαλόω (if this is not a construction of grammarians) but also be an enlargement of a subst. *σίγαλος (cf. e.g. ἀέτωμα to ἀετός).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The ep. adj. resembles the also epic αἰθαλόεις, ὀμφαλόεις a. o. The technical expression σιγάλωμα, which belongs stilistically to a quite diff. category and as opposed to νεο-σίγαλος cannot be explained from σιγαλόεις, can be derived from σιγαλόω (if this is not a construction of grammarians) but also be an enlargement of a subst. *σίγαλος (cf. e.g. ἀέτωμα to ἀετός). -- Etymolog. unclear. After Brugmann IF 39, 143 f. to γελεῖν λάμπειν a. cogn. (s. γαλήνη) with enforcing σῐ- (s. Σίσυφος; σῑ- metr. lengthening); a diff. supposition on σι- in Hofmann Et. Wb. s. v. Diff. Bechtel Lex. s. v.; by Brugmann l. c. rightly rejected. Older attempts in Bq. See also Szemerényi, Studia Pagliaro 3, 243-5.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [548] * k(e)lh₁- ` call'

Etymology: The disyll. verbal stem in καλέ-σαι (analogical καλέσσαι), as in ὀλέ-σαι, ἀρό-σαι etc. (Schwyzer 752); with κλη- in κέ-κλη-μαι, κι-κλή-σκω, κλη-τός compare βλη- in βέ-βλη-μαι, βλη-τός, from zero grade *kl̥h₁-. Beside monosyllabic κλη- (beside καλέ-σαι) Latin has clā- ( clā- mare, clā- rus; beside calā-re). The present καλέ-ω is no doubt an innovation, prob. to καλέσαι (Fraenkel Mélanges Boisacq 1, 367; diff. on καλέω, καλέσαι Specht KZ 59, 85ff.). - (Not cognate are κέλαδος ` noise'.) The α-vowel in καλέ-σαι will go back to a sonantic l̥ ; the same vowel is found in Italic, Lat. calāre ` declare', Umbr. kařetu (\< * kalē- tōd); further the not fully explained OHG, OS halōn `call, fetch' (= calāre), Hitt. kalleš- `call', Skt. uṣā- kal-a- `call' (s. ἠϊκανός). As in the semant. close IE. * kan- (s. καναχή) the a is clearly very old (is it connected with the onomatop. charcater of the verb?). - Forms in Pok. 548ff.; further W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. calō.

Meaning: `burning' (Hom., Hes.) only in πυρὶ κηλέῳ (disyll.), verse end except Θ 217 and Ο 74 (here πυρὶ κηλείῳ).

Derivatives: περί-κηλος (Od.), κηλόν ξηρόν H. and καυαλέον η καυαλές ὑπὸ Αἰολέων τὸ αἶθος, η κατακεκαυμένον κτλ.

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [595; not kēu-] * keh₂u-? `burn'

Etymology: Because of Delph. κηυα (s. v.; which is quite uncertain) it may stand for *κηϜαλέος ( κηϜαλέον πῦρ orig. at verse end as αἰθόμενον πῦρ a. o.?; Shipp Studies 54); Aeol. κᾰϜαλέος would have diff. ablaut (* keh₂u- beside * kh₂u-?). The form κηλείῳ may have a diff. suffix (Schmid - εος und -ειος 40; diff. Fick: secondary for Aeol. καυαλέῳ); περί-κηλος and καυαλές too are reshapings (after the λο- and ής- adj.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European]X [probably] [551] *kēl- `enchant, deceive'

Etymology: Deverbative formation (Schwyzer 720) of unknown origin. With Bugge Gurt. Stud. 4, 331f. one compares a diff. formed Germanic deverbat. with deviant meaning: Goth. (af)hōlōn `slender, συκοφαντεῖν' (would be Gr. *κωλάω as πωτάομαι) = OE. hōlian `id.', OHG huolen `deceive' (with as backformations OE. hōl n. `slender', OWNo. hōl n. `praise, ostentation', cf. Wissmann Nom. postv. 125). (With the Germanic word agrees semantically the formally different Lat. calvor, -ī `devide tricks, deceive' with calumnia `trickery, false accusation, malicious prosecution'. A primary verb is unknown. - Diff. Prellwitz Wb.: to κέλαδος, καλεῖν (s. vv. [ wrong]). Diff. Machek Slavia 16, 184ff.: to Russ. šalítь `be reckless', Czech. šáliti `deceive'; against this Vasmer Russ. et. Wb. s. šalítь. - Pok. 551, W.-Hofmann s. calumnia.

Wackernagel BphW 1891 Sp. 9; see Frisk GHÅ 56: 3 (1950) 3ff., where the possibility is discussed that κλέω (from where κλείω with metr. lengthening) is a backformation of κλέος after ψεύδω: ψεῦδος (thus Risch par. 31 a).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [567] *ker-\/kor-v\/n- `crow'

Etymology: The Italic words for `crow', Lat. corn-īx, Umbr. curn-aco `cornicem', make also for κορών-η an old n-stem * koron-, * korn- probable (also in κόραξ and κόραφος? (diff. Brugmann Grundr.² 2: 1, 280; s. also Schwyzer 491); an u-stem alternating with this n-stem is seen in Lat. corvus, MIr. crū `raven'. The words are all based on an onomatop. (diff. Specht Ursprung 118: orig. colour word). - Generally κορώνη is as name for curbed abjects beside κορωνίς, κορωνός separated from κορώνη `crow' and connected with κυρτός (s. v.). Against a separation in two diff. words speaks the remarkable formation of the Greek word. The metaphorical use of κορώνη `crow' has nothing remarkable ( κόραξ, Lat. corvus, Fr. corbeau, NEngl. crow, Swed. kråka etc.). Both the beak and the feet of the bird may have caused the metaphors. - From here Lat. corōna, corōnis with westeuropean derivv. - Cf. on κόραξ.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [726] * men- `mind'

Etymology: As old verbal noun identical with Skt. mánas- n., Av. manah- n. `pirit, thought, will', IE *ménos n.; here OP Haxā-maniš m. PN prop. "who has the mind of a friend", `friendly minded' (Gr. Άχαιμένης; s. v.). Adj. δυσ-μενής = Av. duš-manah- `evilminded', Skt. dur-manas- `sorrowful'; εὑ-μενής: Skt. su-mánas- `wellminded'. But Lith. mẽnas m. `rememberance' is innovation to menù `remember' (cf. Fraenkel s. v.). -- A perfect of situation belonging here is μέμονα (s.v.), cf. γένος: γέγονα; with deviating meaning the present μαίνομαι (s. v.). On μένος: μαίνομαι cf. Z 100f.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [766] * nes- `return, heal'

Etymology: The themat. rootpresent νέομαι, which because of νόσ-τος must stand for *νέσ-ομαι, agrees formally with Germ., e.g. Goth. ga-nisan `heal, be saved', OE ge-nesan `escape, be saved, survive', NHG genesen; semantically the connection between these verbs is, which agree also as to the confective aspect (Bloch Suppl. Verba 39ff.) to each other, immediately clear. Semantically farther off stands the also formally identical Skt. násate `come near, approach, meet smbody, unite'; if the also connected Nā́satyā m., dual. indicating the Aśvins prop. means "Healers, Saviours", it fits well with νέομαι, ga-nisan with the caus. Goth. nasjan `save', OHG nerian `save, heal, feed' (cf. νόστος, - ιμος) etc. Less clear is Alb. knellem `recover, become lively again'; Jokl WienAkSb. 168: 1, 40); non-committal the comparison with Toch. A nasam, B nesau `I am'; quite diff. Pedersen Tocharisch 160 f. (On ναίω `live' s.v.) Cf. also ἄσμενος. -- In νί̄σομαι (false νίσσομαι) one supposes generally a reduplicated *νί-νσ-ομαι; on the phonetical problems (one would have expected *νί̄νομαι) see Brugmann-Thumb 332 and (with diff. explanation) Wackernagel KZ 29,136 (= Kl. Schr. 1, 639) as well as Bechtel Lex. s.v. (s. also Schwyzer 287 and Lasso de la Vega Emer. 22, 91 f.). The usual connection with Skt. níṃsate (\< * ni-ns-) `they kiss, touch with the mouth' (e.g. Brugmann Grundr.¹ II: 3, 106) is semantically rather in the air; cf. also Mayrhofer s.v. After Meillet BSL 27, 230 a. Chantraine Gramm. hom. 1, 440 νίσ(σ)ομαι would rather be a desiderative with reduced vowelgrade and inner gemination; phonetically very difficult. -- Further details in WP. 2, 334f., Pok. 766f., Schwyzer 690 w. n. 4.

But νυκτέλιος adjunct of Dionysos (AP, Plu., Paus.) haplologically for *νυκτι-τέλιος as hypostasis of νύξ and τέλος ( τελέω), cf. νυκτελεῖν ἐν νυκτὶ τελεῖν H. and Schwyzer 483.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [762] * nekʷt- `night'

The deviating υ in νύξ is often explained as reduced grade e.g. by Brugmann (e.g. Grundr.<sup>2</sup>II: 1,435), who sees in it the reflex of a following labiovelar; basis then * nokʷt-, what is confirmed by Hitt. nekuz (gen. sg.) from IE * nekʷt-s.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [762] * nekʷt- `night'

Etymology: Old inherited word for `night', in most IE languages retained: Lat. nox, gen. pl. nocti-um, Germ., e.g. Goth. nahts, Skt. nák, acc. nákt-am (as adv.), Lith. naktìs, gen. pl. nakt-ų̄, Slav., e.g. OCS noštь etc., all from IE * nokt-; the i-stem in Lat. nocti-um, Lith. nakt-ìs, OCS nošt-ь etc. comes from innovations of the separate languages. The deviating υ in νύξ is often explained as reduced grade e.g. by Brugmann (e.g. Grundr.<sup>2</sup>II: 1,435), who sees in it the reflex of a following labiovelar; basis then * nokʷt-, what is confirmed by Hitt. nekuz (gen. sg.) from IE * nekʷt-s.

Meaning: `beech, Fagus silvatica' (Xanth., Thphr.), `spear shaft (made of beechwood), spear' (Archil., E.).

Other forms: second. ὀξέα, - εῖα (cf. below).

Derivatives: ὀξυ-όεις `made of beechwood' ( ἔγχος, δόρυ, II.; Schwyzer 527; hardly with Bechtel Lex. 55, Risch $ 56 e from ὀξύς enlarged), -ϊνος (-έϊνος) `id.' (Thphr., Delos III^a).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]; PGX [probably a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: With the old IE word for `ash' prob. identical, which also in Alban. got the meaning `beech' (cf. on φηγός). Closest come the Alb., Arm. and Germ. forms: Alb. ah (from * ask- or * osk-), Arm. haçi (from *askii̯o- [ osk-?]), Germ., e.g. OWNo. askr, OHG asc (PGm. * aska-, * aski-); the deviating ὀξύη prob. after ὀξύς (diff., improbable, Bq; after Sánchez Ruipérez Emer.15, 67 old metathesis as in ξύν a.o., untenable). The other languages have a deviating stemformation, which may be connected with old heteroclisis: Balt., e.g. Lith. úos-i-s, Slav., e.g. Russ. jás-en-ъ (both IE * ōs-). To the latter fits Lat. ornus, if from *ŏs-en-o- (- in-o-); quite diff. (to ἐρινεός etc.) Cocco Publ. do XXIII Congr. Luso-Espanhol (Coimbra 1957) 8: 5 f. -- Further forms w. lit. in WP. 1, 184f., Pok. 782, W.-Hofmann s. ornus, Vasmer s. ǰásenъ. - The IE character of these words is far from sure, despite the tradition to compare them; their forms are rather unclear. The variation, hardly sufficiently explained by assuming the intervenience of an adj., may point to a Pre-Greek word. - (Not to ἀχερωΐς<<.)

Meaning: `quench, to extinguish, to be extinguished, extinct (IA.).

Other forms: - ύω (Pi., Hp. a. o.), aor. σβέσ(σ)αι (Il.), pass. σβεσθῆναι (IA.), fut. σβέσω (A., E. a. o.); midd. σβέννυμαι (Hes.), aor. σβῆναι (Il.), fut. σβήσομαι (Pl. a. o.), perf. ἔσβηκα (A.), ἔσβεσμαι (Parm. a.o.).

Compounds: Also w. prefix, esp. ἀπο- and κατα- (on the use in Hom. Graz Le feu dans l'Il. et l'Od.259ff.).

Derivatives: σβέ-σις ( ἀπό-, κατά- σβέννυμι) f. `extinction, putting out' (Arist. etc.), σβεσ-τήρ, - τῆρος m. `extinguisher' (Plu.; not quite certain), - τήριος `useful for extinguishing' (Th. etc.), - τικός `id.'

(sc. τίτανος) `unslaked lime' (Dsc., Plu. a. o.) with ἀσβεστ-ήριοι and - ωσις H. as explanation of κονιαταί resp. κονίασις. -- Deviating the aor. κατα-σβῶσαι (Herod.). -- Besides some H.glossen: ζείναμεν (- υμεν?) σβέννυμεν, ἐζίνα (for - είν-) ἐπεσβέννυεν, ἀποζίννυται (cod. - ξ-; for - ζείν-) ἀποσβέννυται; ζόασον σβέσον; ζοάσ\< εις\> σ[ε]βέσεις.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [479] * (s)gʷes- `extinguish'

Etymology: The above formal system is as a whole built on the root σβεσ- in σβέσ-σαι and ἄ-σβεσ-τος. To the aorist σβέσ(σ)αι joined σβέννυμι from *σβέσ-νυ-μι (on the phonetics Schwyzer 697), σβέσω, σβεσθῆναι, ἔσβεσμαι. To this came as innovation ἔσβην, σβῆναι (after ἔστην, ἐκάην, ἐάγην etc.), to which came σβήσομαι, ἔσβηκα. On itself stands κατα-σβῶσαι, which may have an old lengthened grade (cf. below), but which can also with ζόασον, ζοάσεις (s. ab.) be understood as an iterativ (from *σβοῆσαι) of uncertain date. Cf. (with partly diff. view) Schwyzer 719 and 743 w. n. 1. From the byforms with ζ-, ζείναμεν etc., one can conclude for σβέσ(σ)αι, σβέννυμι to an IE * sgʷes-, which cannot be separated from other verbs for `extinguish': Lith. gęs-tù, gès-ti `extinguish, die out', caus. ges-aũ, -ýti `extinguish', Slav., e.g. OCS u-gašǫ, u-gasiti `extinguish' (IE * gʷōs-; also in - σβῶσαι?; s. ab.), Toch. AB käs- `extinguish'; prob. also Skt. jásate `is extinguished', jāsayati `exhaust'. Hitt. kišt-'be extinguished, perish' (e.g. 3. sg. kištari) is however incompatable with the labiovelar in σβέννυμι. If we posit a pure velar g, which is possible for all other languages, σβέννυμαι must be separated. -- Through the initial σ- Greek is distinguished from its cognates. Prob. it concerns a prefix (after Prellwitz s. v. a mutilated ἐξ-). Diff. Brugmann (e.g. Grundr.² I 590) and Schwyzer 743 n. 1 (to be rejected). -- Further forms from the diff. languages with uncertain hypotheses and older lit. in Bq and WP. 1, 693f.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [957] * sk(e)h₃t-, or * skot-?

Etymology: Without direct non-Gr. agreement, σκότος has a very close cognate in a Germ. word for `shadow': Goth. skadus, OE sceadu (also `darkness'), OHG scato, -( a)wes, PGm. * skaðu- (after the opposite * haiðu- prop. `light-appearance' [= Skt. ketú-] in Goth. haidus `art and way' a. o.?). Besides stand in Celt. forms with lengthened grade, e.g. OIr. scāth n. `shadow', IE * skōto- or * skāto- (diff. s. σκιά). WP. 2, 600 (w. older lit.), Pok. 957; older lit. also in Bq.

Meaning: Spouse of Hades (Pluto), queen of the underworld; as a daughter of Demeter, identified as Κόρη (Ion. since h. Cer. and Hes.)

Other forms: - φόνεια (Il. a. Od.). Several byforms: Φερσε-φόνα (Simon., Pi., Thess.), - φόνεια (H.), Πηριφόνα (Locr.), Πηρεφόνεια (Lac. after H.); with diff. ending: Περσέ-φασσα (A.), Φερσέ-φασσα (S., E.), Φερρέ-φαττα (Pl., Ar., Att. inscr.) a.o. (P.-W. 19, 945ff., Kretschmer Glotta 24, 236) with the sanctuary Φερ(ρ)εφάττ-ιον n. (D., AB).

Derivatives: From it the plantname Περσεφόνιον, Φερ- (Ps.-Dsc.), s. Strömberg Pfl. 100 w. lit.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: As common basis of the "1. member" one may posit Φερσε-; from there through breath-dissimilation, comp.lengthening etc. the diff. forms; Πηρι- after Άρχι- a.o. (cf. Schwyzer 281 a. 444). Orig. Περσε- is however quite as well possible; then Φερσε- through assimilation to - φασσα. For - φόνεια beside - φόνη cf. Πηνελόπεια beside -η; - φασσα, - φαττα from *-φατ-ι̯α can have had an orig. nasal (-n̥-t-i̯ǝ), through which - φασσα would come closer to - φόνη (and - φόν-της). -- Without convincing etymology. The "2. member" is often connected with φόνος `murder', θείνω `kill' (Eust. on κ 491, Fick-Bechtel PN 465, Kretschmer Glotta 24, 236 f.) by diff. interpretation of the 1. member. After Ehrlich KZ 39, 560 ff. however "the one rich in produce", from a noun *φέρος and IE * gʷhen- `swell, to be full of' (which one supposes a. o. in εὑθενέω [s. v.]); in spite of the agreement of Fraenkel Lexis 3, 61 ff. and Heubeck Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 5, 28 ff. (with lit.) not to be recommended. Pelasgian hypothesis, partly following Ehrlich, by v. Windekens Beitr. z. Namenforsch. 8, 168 ff. -- As long as no better explanations from IE are put forward, the word must be considered Pre-Greek; thus a.o. v. Wilamowitz Glaube 1, 108f. w. n. 3, Nilsson Gr. Rel. 1, 474.
